Does your nail polish look old and weird after the first day you polished them? Use these steps to prevent that and make it look fresh.

Steps

1

Apply a base coat on before you paint, and a top coat after. This will polish your nails and make the nail polish last longer.

2

Wear glitter on top of the polish. If you want to make it look really fresh, use a top coat, wait for it to dry, then apply the glitter. Let that dry, then re-apply the top coat.

3

Use fresh nail polish for a fresh coat. Nail polish will usually last for 5-10 weeks (depending how often you use them), so don't use old nail polish.

4

Store your nail polish in the right conditions. Putting your nail polish upright will really help. If you really want a fresh manicure, store some bottle of nail polish in the fridge to make it nice and smooth the next time you use it.

5

Remove any dirt that is under your nails. You can do this using a manicure kit found at any local drugstore.
